  It is increasingly difficult for Internet congestion control mechanisms to obtain the feedback that they need. This lack of feedback can have severe performance implications, and it is bound to become worse. In the long run, the problem may only be fixable by fundamentally changing the way congestion control is done in the Internet. We substantiate this claim by looking at the evolution of the Internet's infrastructure over the past 30 years, and by examining the most common behavior of Internet traffic. Considering the goals that congestion control mechanisms are intended to address, and taking into account contextual developments in the Internet ecosystem, we arrive at conclusions and recommendations about possible future congestion control design directions. In particular, we argue that congestion control mechanisms should move away from their strict “end-to-end” adherence. This change would benefit from avoiding a “one size fits all circumstances” approach, and moving toward a more selective set of mechanisms that will result in a better performing Internet. We also discuss how this future vision differs from today's use of performance enhancing proxies.

  Purpose – Coexistence of various wireless access networks and the ability of mobile terminals to switch between them make an optimal selection of serving networks for multicast groups a challenging problem. Since optimal network selection requires large dimensions of data to be collected from several network locations and sent between several network components, the scalability can easily become a bottleneck in large-scale systems. Therefore, reducing data exchange within heterogeneous wireless networks is important. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – The authors study the decision-making process and the data that need to be sent between different network components. To analyze the operation of the wireless heterogeneous network, the authors built a mathematical model of the network. The objective is defined as a minimization of multicast streams in the system. To evaluate the heuristic solutions, the authors define the upper and lower bounds to their operation. Findings – The proposed heuristic solutions substantially reduce the usage of bandwidth in mobile networks and exchange of information between the network components. Originality/value – The authors proposed the approach that allows network selection in a decentralized manner with only limited information shared among the decision makers. The authors studied how different sets of information available to decision makers influenced the performance of the system. The work also investigates the usage of multiple paths for multicast in heterogeneous mobile environments.

  The increasing demand for real-time multimedia streaming from mobile users makes important deployment of network selection in wireless networks. Coexistence of various wireless access networks and ability of mobile terminals to switch between them make an optimal selection of serving mobile networks for groups of mobile clients a challenging problem. Since scalability can easily become a bottleneck in large-scale networks, we study the decision-making process and selection of the data that needs to be exchanged between different network components. In this paper, we present two decentralized solutions to this problem that we compare and evaluate in the OMNet++ simulation environment.

  Mobile devices are typically equipped with multiple access network interfaces, supporting the coexistence of heterogeneous wireless access networks. The selection of an optimal set of serving mobile networks for multicast streams is a challenging problem. We consider a network selection problem for multicast groups of mobile clients that operate in a heterogeneous wireless access network environment. We present a solution to this problem with an optimal allocation of mobile users to multicast groups when multiple mobile networks are available for operation. This solution is suited for small scale networks and can be used as reference for complex networks.

  We consider a network selection problem for a group of mobile clients that operate in a heterogeneous wireless access network environment and are equipped with multiple access network interfaces. The involved networks cooperate in order to improve their own and the mobile clients’ performance. We formulate the problem as a team decision problem. In this formulation, several decision variables are involved, and these decisions are made by several decision makers with access to different information but contributing to a common goal. The novelty of the proposed approach is that the network selection is done in a decentralized manner with only limited information available to decision makers. We present two decentralized algorithms to this problem that we compare and evaluate in the OMNet++ simulation environment.

  The goal of Rate Adaptation (RA) mechanisms in 802.11 WLANs is to provide optimum system throughput under varying channel conditions (e.g. in presence of noise) by carrying out run-time prediction and selection of the most appropriate bit-rate. The cross-layer interaction of TCP, as the major transport protocol in the Internet, with different RA mechanisms and DCF is yet to be thoroughly investigated. Previously reported efforts A) have never included real-life measurements of uplink TCP traffic; B) lack a practical view because they do not consider the RA mechanisms commonly deployed in today's off-the-shelf 802.11 devices; C) miss the study of RA mechanisms in low-noise environments. This paper covers all the above shortages, by conducting real-life measurements in two different test-beds (NDlab and Emulab) alongside with simulations, to study the performance of TCP coupled with different commonly deployed RA mechanisms. Our measurements reveal that 1) most conventional RA mechanisms are unable to distinguish frame errors due to collisions from channel noise/interference, and will respond to them negatively to some extent; 2) different than downlink TCP, uplink TCP can be adversely affected by collision-triggered rate downshifts that some RA schemes exhibit even under perfect channel conditions or in low-noise environments; 3) the relatively recent Minstrel RA mechanism can counter this negative uplink behavior well, yielding almost equal performance as in the downlink case.

The selection of optimal serving mobile networks for multicast streams is a challenging problem.We consider a network selection problem for multicast groups of mobile clients that operate in a heterogeneous wireless access network environment.

  Efficient resource allocation is one of the key concerns of implementing cognitive radio networks. Game theory has been extensively used to study the strategic interactions between primary and secondary users for effective resource allocation. The concept of spectrum trading has introduced a new direction for the coexistence of primary and secondary users through economic benefits to primary users. The use of price theory and market theory from economics has played a vital role to facilitate economic models for spectrum trading. So, it is important to understand the feasibility of using economic approaches as well as to realize the technical challenges associated with them for implementation of cognitive radio networks. With this motivation, we present an extensive summary of the related work that uses economic approaches such as game theory and/or price theory/market theory to model the behavior of primary and secondary users for spectrum sharing and discuss the associated issues. We also propose some open directions for future research on economic aspects of spectrum sharing in cognitive radio networks.

  Cooperative spectrum sensing improves reliability and the detection performance of sensing. However, the fully cooperative scenario may not be realistic to assume in many cases. We consider a cognitive radio network with heavy traffic users and light traffic users and analyze their behavior towards sensing using the concept of mixed strategy Nash equilibrium. Further, we design a distributed game using evolutionary game theory such that as long as light traffic users are present, they share the sensing responsibility while heavy traffic users get a free ride. Finally, the evolution dynamics is shown to converge to the evolutionarily stable strategy for the case of multiple users.

  Real time traffic such as voice and video have strict requirements on the acceptable end-to-end packet delay. When there are different types of traffic with different requirements on tolerable latency, priority based packet scheduling schemes are normally used in order to reduce the queuing delay for real time services. However, in cognitive radio networks, the time that the system spends on spectrum sensing adds further delay to the packet transmission. In this paper, we propose a new scheme to significantly reduce the overall packet delay, including the delay due to sensing for real time services in cognitive radio networks. We derive the expression for average packet delay for the proposed scheme and the simulation results match well with the analytical results. The numerical results show that the priority based scheduling scheme combined with our scheme substantially reduces the packet delay for real time applications.

  Underwater development and production of oil and gas needs networked sensors and actuators to monitor the production process, to either prevent or detect oil and gas leakage or to enhance the production flow and yield of the wells. Sensors used today are large and expensive, both to manufacture and to deploy sub-sea. We suggest sensor networks created by inexpensive and small wireless sensor nodes in a redundant multi-hop topology. Preliminary designs and results are shown for two such nodes using ultrasound and infrared light as wireless commutation.

  IEEE is currently standardizing a spatial reuse ring topology network called the Resilient Packet Ring (RPR, IEEE P802.17). The goal of the RPR development is to make a LAN/MAN standard, but also WANs are discussed. A ring network needs a fairness algorithm that regulates each stations access to the ring. The RPR fairness algorithm is currently being developed with mostly long distances between stations in mind. In this paper we discuss the feedback aspects of this algorithm and how it needs to be changed in order to give good performance if and when RPR is used for high-speed networks and LANs with shorter distances between stations. We discuss different architectural parameters including buffers sizes and distances between stations. We suggest the use of triggers instead of timers to meet the response requirements of high-speed networks. We have developed a discrete event simulator in the programming language Java. The proposed improvements are compared and evaluated using a ring network model that we have built using our simulator.

  The scalable coherent interface (SCI), a local or extended computer backplane interface being defined by an IEEE standard project (P1596), is discussed. the interconnection is scalable, meaning that up to 64 K processor, memory, or I/O nodes can effectively interface to a shared SCI interconnection. The SCI sharing-list structures are described, and sharing-list addition and removal are examined. Optimizations being considered to improve the performance of large system configurations are discussed. Request combining, a useful feature of linked-list coherence, is described. SCI's optional extensions, including synchronization using a queued-on-lock bit, are considered

  Abstract: Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) lets a bottleneck's Active Queue Management (AQM) mechanism inform an endpoint about congestion without having to drop a packet. A recently proposed sender-side modification called Alternative Backoff with ECN (ABE) enables reduced latency while maintaining good utilization with ECN. However, under certain circumstances ABE can produce a degree of unfair behavior between ABE-enabled TCP senders and conventional TCP senders. We propose specific guidance for configuring bottleneck AQMs to assist in fairness between ABE-enabled and conventional TCP flows. We evaluate our proposal using RED, then describe how it can be applied to other AQM mechanisms and incrementally introduced into the Internet.

  A ring network needs a fairness algorithm that regulates each station's access to the ring. In this paper we explore some of the properties of back-pressure flow control to achieve fair allocation of ring bandwidth between stations. We investigate the stability of different variants of back-pressure flow control, and suggest improvements to the fairness algorithm proposed by the RPR working group. We have developed a discrete event simulator in the programming language Java and use this simulator to evaluate the performance of the discussed back-pressure algorithms using different traffic scenarios.

  IEEE is currently conducting an effort to standardize a full duplex, spatial reuse, ring network architecture, called the Resilient Packet Ring (IEEE P802.17). We discuss the relationship between spatial reuse and head of line blocking in such a ring. An algorithm that schedules packets individually based on destination address is outlined. We have written a model of the RPR architecture in the programming language Java, and simulated several scenarios in order to evaluate and compare our algorithm with a con- ventional ring fairness algorithm.Our performance evaluations show that it is possible to achieve significant higher throughput for traffic scenarios where head of line blocking traditionally has degraded performance. Where head of line blocking is not an issue, our algorithm behaves like the traditional one

  We describe how a real application, the Syntetic Aperture Radar (SAR) program, is parallelized and run on a cluster of PCs connected by SCI. We have a prototype SCI switch that uses the serial IEEE 1355 HIC technology in its switching fabric. The prototype switch can not keep up with the speed of the SCI interconnect, and we analyze and discuss how switch performance influence the execution time of our parallelized application.

  This paper describes a prototype SCI-switch and its behaviour in a real application. The switching fabric uses the IEEE 1355 HIC technology to switch SCI packets in a switch with up to seven SCI ports. In our lab we have tested a switch with up to three SCI ports. We report on the performance of a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)-application when it is run on a number of dual processor PCs connected by SCI and using our HIC-based SCI switch.

  This paper first describes testing of the HIC based SCI switch embedded in a cluster of PCs running standard micro benchmarks (ping-pong latency and throughput) of various data packet sizes and with various configurations of 2 and 3 switched SCI rings. The switch itself is made up of switching units that translates IEEE 1596 SCI packets to and from the serial IEEE 1355 HIC technology. The limitations of this prototype switch are then discussed. A real industrial application, the SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) application was run through the switch connected as a 3-way switch, varying the number of nodes in each switched SCI ring. This paper concludes with a discussion of the viability of an industrial version of this switch.

Resource Adaptation Methods for Improving Multimedia Streaming Throughput to Mobile Nodes in Heterogeneous Wireless Environments. Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Oslo. ISSN 1501-7710. Vis sammendrag

  The thesis formulates effective strategies for delivery of streaming content for mobile users in resource-limited networks. We consider the entire end-to-end delivery path from the source to the destination. In the work, we take into account 1) the presence of a large number of mobile devices operating inside an area with overlapping coverage of several mobile networks; and 2) the ability of the mobile devices to exploit several network technologies and to be connected to different access points simultaneously. We aim to improve the performance of the whole system by jointly considering users’ requirements and network limitations and by identifying and implementing adaptation mechanisms for different parts of the delivery path. Taking into account the complexity of the whole system, the thesis aims to design mechanisms operating in a decentralized manner with partial knowledge of the system. For this purpose, we study the ADIMUS architecture which addresses the problem of distributing streaming content for mobile users. The ADIMUS architecture clearly separates the system into two distinct parts: the backbone part of the network and the wireless part. We study resource adaptation mechanisms for both of these parts that include 1) overlay routing for the backbone and 2) multi-access approaches for heterogeneous wireless network. For overlay routing in the backbone, we consider multipath streaming techniques. For the wireless part, we improve the utilization of resources by intelligently redistributing mobile devices among the available wireless connections. To evaluate the adaptation mechanisms for both of these parts, we build mathematical models for the overlay network and for the heterogeneous wireless network. These mathematical models are used as upper bounds for operation of the adaptation solutions. We also define the lower bounds to these solutions based on earlier proposed solutions from the literature. For the overlay network, we develop and evaluate a distributed rate-allocation algorithm for delivery of video in a Video-on-Demand (VoD) system built upon multipath delivery. The algorithm’s operation is based on information collected by overlay nodes. The algorithm is evaluated in the OMNet++ simulation environment and analyzed against the aforementioned lower and upper bounds. We show that the algorithm performs close to the optimal solution in terms of proportionally fair bandwidth allocation between receivers of the overlay part of the architecture. For the heterogeneous wireless network, we consider the network selection to use for multiuser environments with possible multicast configurations that allows the network to perform load balancing, improve the users’ overall QoS, and increase the throughput of the networks. The novelty of the proposed solutions is that the network selection is done in a decentralized manner with only limited information available to decision makers. The solutions are evaluated through multiple simulations. We show that the solutions provide a substantial improvement in performance compared to their lower bounds. We also investigate a multiple connection approach for multicast groups with mobile terminals connecting to several networks simultaneously and receiving data through multiple paths. We show that the total usage of resources is reduced compared to a single path approach.

  Congestion occurs at a bottleneck along an Internet path; multiple flows between the same sender and receiver pairs can benefit from using only a single congestion control instance when they share the same bottleneck. These benefits include the ability to control the rate allocation between flows and reduced overall delay (multiple congestion control instances cause more queuing delay than one since each has no knowledge of the congestion episodes experienced by the others). We present a mechanism for coupling congestion control for real-time media and show its benefits by coupling multiple congestion controlled flows that share the same bottleneck.

  This report describes performance characteristics of an experimental HIC based SCI switch embedded in a cluster of PCs. Internally the switch translates IEEE 1596 SCI packets to and from the serial IEEE 1355 HIC technology. Architectually up to seven SCI rings can be connected to the switch, but due to limited resources, only a 2x2 and a 3x3 switch has been tested. This deliverable focuses on presenting a comprehensive set of low level latency and throughput figures for different configurations, and evaluating the state of this prototype switch and the potentials of an industrial version of this switch.
